Role.

[Two weeks later.]

Tian Xing made them scissor each other as a way to harmonize their relationship. He then waited a long time without engaging with them. After seeing them climax for the fourteenth time and wanting to continue, Tian Xing instantly separated the two, knowing this was the perfect moment to make them see each other as sisters while preventing romantic feelings from developing between them.

Frustrated that their session was interrupted, both of them received a stern look from Tian Xing, which brought them back to their senses. He then gently and carefully joined them to solidify their commitment to him, not toward each other.

Kissing both of them twice—first from Yelena to Ying Yue and then from Ying Yue to Yelena—Tian Xing ensured they each received equal attention. He utilized every available Predetermination Dao, like karma and fate, to make sure his actions had no loopholes, leaving them both harmonized with each other far into the future. After rigorous calculations and seeing that everything was in order, he stood up, ready to return to the cave and resume his delayed Spirit Awakening cultivation.

As he was about to put on his medieval clothes by himself, Yelena stepped in to help him dress, as if indicating she wanted to be his servant with a lowly status rather than in a normal relationship. Because of this, Tian Xing shook his head and said, "No, my knife. Master wants our relationship to be equal when nothing serious is happening. So just treat me as your fiancé, who has already shared a bed with you—there's no need to always glorify me by acting as my servant all the time. Master doesn't want my ego to be my downfall. Having always ready servants who do everything for me would stroke my ego to the point where I become blind to certain things."

Seeing Yelena silently nod, possibly dejected because she felt she had nothing to offer him, Tian Xing shook his head and kissed her for about a minute. Breaking the kiss, he then told her what he wanted, "But there is something I want you to do, my knife. Master wants to have the deadliest hidden weapon, one that isn't shy about doing anything I request."

"I will do anything, master," she responded quickly.

Nodding at her prompt response, Tian Xing pulled Yelena into a hug and kissed her forehead. Patting her back and then breaking the hug, he continued, "But there is one thing you must understand, Yelena, to avoid hurting both our hearts in the future. If you want to retire or don't want to do something, tell me what you want and negotiate the terms with me. This is an order you cannot disobey. Even if you're reluctant because you don't want to disappoint me, you must express your desires and grievances so that I can act in the best interest of both my wishes and your well-being. Do you understand, my knife?"

"Yes, master."

Seeing the change in fate as Yelena opened up to him, Tian Xing noted this possible string of fate he desired, envisioning Yelena in the future acting just like her previous self before being thrown into this world full of suffering. He hoped she would develop a mindset that wasn't shy about exchanging ideas with him, as he feared that if she acted like a servant all the time, it would lead to his downfall because of that ego.

He then turned toward Ying Yue, who wore a sad expression. Knowing it was likely because she didn't have an official role in his plans, Tian Xing said, "Yue, come, help master dress. Let's return to our cave since I haven't finished my cultivation."

Ying Yue giggled and replied, "Hihihihi. Right away, master."

Tian Xing didn't mind if Ying Yue believed she was being made the head servant; in fact, he wanted her to take up that role, knowing she would be the one to maintain harmony in his absence. She was the only one who had been with him since his birth into this world and had been approved by his wife Margarita to become her bishop.

Thinking about Margarita, Tian Xing couldn't help but send another karma message, even though he had sent one just a second ago—he sent them every second of the day. Upon reading that his wife and Ember were alright after their second ascension to the next world, he sighed in relief.

In the rapid exchange of messages, Tian Xing finally received information that, unlike in the previous world where he had shaken the heavens, the new world his wife and daughter had entered was very slow—one second there equaled one hundred days here.

With this information, his tension eased slightly, knowing he could take his time in this world, unlike before when he had to focus on his cultivation, as one second here equaled one month in his wife's previous ascension. Even worse was Tian Xing's previous world in Undvik, where one second equaled one thousand years in his wife's previous ascension, which had forced him to shake the heavens immediately upon arriving here.

Sighing in relief, knowing he is the one that now had to endure waiting for their long karma messages, Tian Xing continued reading that his wife had also taken another concubine after waiting for him to satisfy himself with Yelena for two weeks.

Even though he had told her she could take another concubine the moment he first played with Yelena, his wife always waited until he was satisfied with one, as if giving him space to think and decide whether to allow her to have another or not. Because of this, Tian Xing shook his head, feeling warmth in his heart, knowing that even though he always told her they were equal, she always took a half-step back to give him space.

However, since this was a two-way commitment that followed both their wishes, not just his, Tian Xing always allowed her to do the same thing as him, such as taking another concubine, trusting that their vow to each other would not be broken even though their paranoid minds always thought otherwise.

Thinking about their paranoia, he then told his wife to pick and prepare for a third and fourth concubine because of the time difference, knowing he would likely have many more than she would later. Since they had already been chosen, she would most likely be able to claim them instantly when he added to his collection later.
